There haven’t been a lot of research on why you get random thoughts or ideas pop out of your head, but psychology does have a theory that describes a mental state that seems to build these kinds of thoughts. It’s called the “default mode network”. In this mode, you become less aware of your environment and more aware of your internal thoughts,” said by a psychologist at Drexel University in Philadelphia, John Kounios. Here are some of the reasons what happens to our brain in the shower that foments creative epiphany.

After shaving, give your razor a thorough rinse with hot water. Hold the blades of your razor under a running tap after every few strokes, and let the water run through from the back to the front in order to dislodge the clogged hair and other dirt. If hair are still stuck, tilt the blade 45 degrees to get into those tougher nooks. This should clean the blades and remove any gunk that built up during the shave.

It is recommended to run your razor under hot water after every one or two strokes. The more frequently you rinse it, the smoother the shave. Clogged hair not only blocks your razor from shaving other hairs, it also causes repeated friction and pressure, which also causes razor bumps and irritation. Hence, effectively dulling your blade.

In an interview: celebrity hair stylist Aaron Carlo about how to get celebrity-worthy glossy locks at home, and he said it’s all about condition, blow-dries and shine spray.

“Looking after the condition of your hair is the top priority, invest in a good masque and leave on hair for 15 minutes twice a week to keep the moisture levels up,” Aaron tells us.

“Your blow-drying technique really matters. Get a great oil and apply to mid lengths and ends before blow-drying hair, with a nozzle on and always pointing down the hair to smooth down the cuticle which helps reflect the light.

“When finished, gently mist a lightweight shine spray over the hair, make sure you hold it away from your hair while applying though, you don’t want to overload the hair and have shine turn into grease.”

The shinier the hair, the brighter the YOU shine. Prepare for some serious hair envy as we bring you with the glossiest hair secrets.
